Thankfully occurred at low speed, but at 318,000 miles, this is the end of my Yaris.

The Duralast hub went from no noise or symptoms to catastrophic failure in 2 days and about 25 miles.

Sorry to hear that. Glad it was at low speed and you didn't get hurt. I've used some duralast parts such as brake rotors, pads etc, but, yeah, something like a wheel bearing, I'd minimally use Moog, Mevotech but would always prefer OEM, Timken or SKF. There seems to be a plethora of wheel bearing manufacturers that offer products that won't last. In this case, it really seems to be a 'get what you pay for' scenario. 318000 miles is a fair bit, but is the car not worth fixing?
